It’s frigid out there. Much of the country is layering up for some icy temps. And while the Experts are always eager to help, we've got a few HVAC and plumbing tips to help you avoid those winter weather emergencies.
- Disconnect exterior water connections.
- Make sure you insulate exposed pipes and outdoor fixtures.
- A slow drip in indoor bathrooms and sinks by outer walls can stop pipes from freezing.
- Open up cabinets underneath sinks to keep warm air flowing around pipes.
- Keep an indoor temperature of at least 68 degrees (and warmer if possible).
- Get those space heaters ready by checking them for proper operation.
- If you've got vents closed in unused rooms, make sure you open them up.
- If your furnace is not working, contact the Experts for heating repairs or consider a new furnace install.
- Last but not least, give your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors a quick once-over.
